Threat Hunting (TH)
We hunt and we hack.
A unique part of our prevention, detection and response strategy is the proactive hunt for evidence. Regardless of the strength of your immune system, there’s always the unknown. Red team assessments can identify some of these threat actors, improving your security posture. In addition to this, our threat hunting service detects breaches missed by even the strongest counter measures, aligning threat assessments, security controls, detection logic and operations.
Why it matters
The importance of the proactive hunt for threats
With modern malware often escaping detection, and techniques from cybercriminals becoming ever so sophisticated, the most fundamental problem with cybersecurity is that organizations often do not realize when they are compromised.
Hunt
Find the unknowns by proactively hunting for compromises.
Identify
Eliminate threat actors after identifying the traces they left.
Assess
Avoid entry with a thorough understanding of potential risks, based on your own controls.
Be proactive
Hunting, identifying, eliminating and assessing proactively eliminates future problems.
What’s in it for you?
Some chefs have a signature dish. We have a signature service: threat hunting. Our responsible rebels ensure breaches are detected before they start causing significant damage. We do this by:
- Identifying unknown threat actors that have breached your defences.
- Determining how these breaches occur.
- Evaluating your current security controls and detection logic to ensure they align with the treat landscape of your organization.
- Continuously providing insights on how you can improve your prevention, detection and response strategies, for example by advising MDR.
Have you been breached?
A prompt response is crucial to develop the best response strategy and to avoid further damage. We recommend you to contact us as early as possible.

How we work
Our Threat Hunting methodology
We know your standards are as high as ours are. That’s why we deploy a proven methodology for each of our services. Explore the iterative phases of our framework for Threat Hunting below.
Introduction
Scoping
Contracting
We’ll draft a proposal and NDA based on the project scope for your review and sign-off.
Threat Modelling
In this phase we identify relevant APTs and build an hypothesis, partly based on the threat information you provide us about past compromises.
Preparation
Together with your team we collect and process your data sources and deploy our technology to start with automated analysis.
Hunting
In this phase we start hunting manually. We assess risks and proactively investigate potential compromises to improve your cyber defences.
Review
All our findings will be summarized in actionable reports that will be shared with you and your team.
